        I work with big tanks of a pressurized gas that occasionally releases pressure for a few seconds, very loudly. Civilians are often startled, and ask if its going to blow up, and I always say:

        “Do you see me running?”

        “No.”

        “Then don’t worry about it. But if you see me running, then you should definitely run, too.”

        Like when safety at work asks what steps to take when you see an electrical fire.

        “Fucking big ones” apparently isn’t a good response
